CBS Assembles Cast for 'American Baking Competition'

The Jeff Foxworthy-hosted series based on the U.K. format will bow May 29.

CBS has compiled all the ingredients for its summer cooking series The American Baking Competition.

Hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, the series is an adaptation of the U.K. format The Great British Bake Off and judged by chef Marcela Valladolid and baker Paul Hollywood, who serves in the same capacity on the international format.
